Dude, if you drove Goonz's car before, you would understand where he is coming from.

I'm gonna be doing mine this weekend & I'll see if I can remember my digicam! I'm gonna be in a rush b/c I have to have it at my buddies shop late Saturday but I'll at least get some good pics. 
That would be sweet. I'm pretty sure that will be a big help when I install mine this spring.
For all of you wanting a How-To I will most definately write one up when I go to install them. You are just going to have to wait a few months. I probably won't get to this until late May/early June. I'll need to be able to drive my Camaro (which is in storage for the winter) to work since the CSVT is my daily driver.

Cleaning crusty old UIM/LIM and adding headers = much quicker.

FYI to everyone who is gonna do this, or is planning to do this, its not HARD, it dosent take a lot of skill, It is time consuming and frustrating, getting any torque on the bolts is the hard part. I think everyone thinks it is a HUGE problem and that headers are impossible, They are VERY easy to do, the require the knowledge to crimp wires and turn a socket set, not much else.

damn it, whats this whole new deal or at least new to me , about the flex pipe.
so i can't just install my wpr headers without a flexpipe?
where the hell do i install a flex pipe ?
is this something any run of the mill exhaust shop can do after i install my wpr headers or does this need to be taken into consideration before i attempt an install ?

The flex pipe installs between the outlet of the 3-bolt y-pipe and the inlet of the 3-bolt cat, and yes, it is 100% necessary.
